Description
- The present invention relates to a process for producing vinyl esters of carboxylic acids, especially vinyl esters of ketocarboxylic acids, which can be α- ketocarboxylic acids or β-ketocarboxylic acids. The vinyl esters of the carboxylic acids in their vinyl group can have hydrogen and have preferably deuterium in their vinyl group. The vinyl esters can be hydrogenated with para-hydrogen and the spin of the para-hydrogen can be transferred to the carbonyl carbon atom of the carboxyl group, which carbonyl-carbon atom is a 13C, followed by hydrolysis of the ester group, producing carboxylic acids, especially ketocarboxylic acids having a hyperpolarized 13C in the carbonyl carbon atom of the carboxyl group. Transfer of the spin order created by hydrogenation of the vinyl group with para hydrogen to achieve hyperpolarization of the 13C carbonyl atom of the carboxyl group can be accelerated by magnetic field cycling or by suitable NMR pulse sequences.
- The process for producing vinyl esters of carboxylic acids, especially vinyl esters of ketocarboxylic acids, has the advantage of a high yield, of allowing the production of deuterated vinyl esters of 13C-carbonyl-labelled ketocarboxylic acids, and of ketocarboxylic acids having a hyperpolarized 13C as the carbonyl atom.
- Products of the process are 1-13C-hyperpolarized carboxylic acids, preferably 1-13C-hyperpolarized ketocarboxylic acids that are e.g. suitable for use as magnetically labelled molecules in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) diagnostics. A preferred ketocarboxylic acid ester is pyruvic acid vinyl ester, also called vinyl pyruvate, having a hyperpolarized 13C in the carbonyl carbon atom of the carboxyl group for use in diagnostic 13C-MRI.

EP 3 063 119 B 1 describes producing 1-13C-hyperpolarized carboxylate containing compounds by providing an unsaturated ester of a carboxylate, hydrogenating the unsaturated ester with para-hydrogen to produce the para-hydrogenated ester, followed by spin order transfer to the 1-13C carbonyl carbon atom, e.g. by magnetic field cycling, which ester is converted by removal of the hydrogenated group to yield the 1-13C-hyperpolarized carboxylic acid. Particularly the allyl ester and the propargyl ester are suggested as substrates for para-hydrogenation because their synthesis from the corresponding alcohols and carboxylic acids is straightforward. Vinyl esters that are more efficient substrates for 1-13C-hyperpolarization (the spin ordered H atoms are closer to the 13C-carbonyl) are more difficult to prepare. A route for synthesis of vinyl pyruvate that could give acceptable yields is not described. - The unsaturated ester is kept in an organic solvent and reacted therein with para-hydrogen, then the magnetic field cycling is applied and the organic phase is mixed with an aqueous phase, which promotes hydrolysis of the ester and enrichment of the water-soluble 1-13C-hyperpolarized carboxylic acid in the aqueous phase.
- Chukanov et al., ACS Omega 2018, 3, 6673-6682 describes a yield of 6% of synthesizing vinyl pyruvate from vinyl acetate and pyruvic acid with PdII acetate and KOH at 25°C for 3d.
- It is an object of the invention to provide a process for efficiently producing a ketocarboxylic acid vinyl ester and its para-hydrogenation product, which after spin transfer and ester hydrolysis yields a hyperpolarized 1-13C carbonyl carbon compound, especially for use as a diagnostic compound in magnetic resonance imaging. Preferably, the process of the invention should produce the compound having a hyperpolarized 1-13C carbonyl carbon atom with high yield and at high purity. A further object is to provide a ketocarboxylic acid vinyl ester that allows for a higher efficiency of spin order transfer to the 1-13C carbonyl carbon.
- The invention achieves the object by the features of the claims and especially provides a process in which a carboxylic acid halogenide, preferably chloride, or fluoride or bromide, of a ketocarboxylic acid is reacted with a trialkyl silylenolether for producing a ketocarboxylic acid vinyl ester and, as a by-product, a trialkyl silyl halogenide, accordingly a chloride, fluoride or bromide. The resulting ketocarboxylic acid vinyl ester can then be para-hydrogenated by hydrogenation with para-hydrogen, resulting in para-hydrogenation of the vinyl group. The polarisation transfer from the para-hydrogenated vinyl ester to the 1-13C carbonyl carbon of the ketocarboxylic acid can be accelerated by magnetic field cycling or by suitable NMR pulse sequences. Subsequent hydrolysis of the ester bond produces the free ketocarboxylic acid having a hyperpolarized 1-13C carbonyl carbon. The ketocarboxylic acid, and accordingly its carboxylic acid chloride, has a 1-13C carbonyl carbon. Preferably, the trialkyl silylenolether is a trialkylsilyl vinylether.
- The ketocarboxylic acid can be an alpha(α)-ketocarboxylic acid or a beta(β)-carboxylic acid.
-
- The ketocarboxylic acid chloride is produced from the corresponding ketocarboxylic acid by reacting it with a chlorinating agent, e.g. oxalyl chloride as shown here. As an alternative to the oxalyl chloride, thionyl chloride or phosphor-III-chloride or phosphor-V-chloride can be used. Preferred reagents are oxalic chloride and DMF as a catalyst, or 1-chloro-N,N,2-trimethylpropenylamine (tetramethyl-α-chlorenamine, TMCE) or any other suitable chlorinating reagent. The ketocarboxylic acid chloride in specific cases can be isolated, however, because of its instability the ketocarboxylic acid chloride is preferably further reacted in solution immediately after its production.
- In a subsequent step, the α-, or β-ketocarboxylic acid halogenide, e.g. the α-, or β-ketocarboxylic acid chloride, is reacted with a trialkyl silylenolether to yield the corresponding vinylester.
- In the trialkyl silylenolether, R9, R10, R11 can each independently be H or an alkyl, e.g. a C1-to C12- alkyl. R1, R2, R3 can each independently be H or an alkyl, e.g. a C1- to C12- alkyl, preferably each of R1, R2, R3 is D in order to produce a trialkyl silylenolether bound to a fully deuterated vinyl group.
- Advantageously for hyperpolarization by subsequent para-hydrogenation and polarization transfer, the vinyl ester of the ketocarboxylic acid is deuterated at the vinyl group (all of R1, R2, R3 are D), and the carbonyl atom of the ketocarboxylic acid chloride is enriched in 13C.
- In a preferred embodiment, the ketocarboxylic acid, and accordingly the acid chloride of the ketocarboxylic acid that is reacted with the trialkyl silylenolether, is fully deuterated, carrying deuterium instead of hydrogen atoms. A preferred deuterated ketocarboxylic acid is pyruvate in which the terminal methyl group is fully deuterated. Accordingly, in the preferred vinyl ester of the ketocarboxylic acid also the vinyl group is fully deuterated. A preferred vinyl ester of a ketocarboxylic acid that is obtainable by the process of the invention is of the structure
- In embodiments in which the vinyl group of the ketocarboxylic acid is partially deuterated, preferably fully deuterated, the spin order that is introduced into the vinyl group by para-hydrogenation is more effectively transferred to the 13C atom of the carbonyl group. Deuteration of the R group in α-ketocarboxylic acid vinylesters leads to a longer half-life (T 1) of the hyperpolarized 13C.
- The catalysts suitable for the reaction of acid chlorides with trialkyl silylenolethers are transition metal salts or transition metal complexes. Among the tested catalysts, PdCl2 is preferred as it gave the best yields.

Generally, a trialkyl silylenolether of a fully deuterated vinyl group can be produced by reacting fully deuterated tetrahydrofuran (THF), also termed deutero-oxolane-d8, with butyllithium (BuLi) to give the lithium salt of the deuterated enolether of acetaldehyde, and further reacting the resulting product with a trialkylhalogensilane, e.g. trialkylchlorosilane, e.g. according to the following reaction scheme:
- The alkyl groups R9, R10, R11 of the trialkylchlorosilane and accordingly of the trialkyl silylenolether of the deuterated vinyl can each be the same or can independently be selected from e.g. C1- to C12- alkyl, e.g. R9, R10 und R11 can each independently be branched alkyl, e.g. isopropyl or tert. butyl, or phenyl, e.g. R9, R10 are each methyl, R11is iso-proypl or tert.-butyl; or R9, R10 are each methyl, R11 is phenyl.
- It was found that in vinyl pyruvate, with the vinyl group carrying hydrogen, after para-hydrogenation and applying suitable NMR pulse sequences, approx. 15% of the spin order was transferred as hyperpolarization to the 1-13C carbonyl carbon of the ketocarboxylic acid group, whereas the same procedure applied to a deuterated vinyl group results in a transfer of approx. 96% hyperpolarization to the 1-13C carbonyl carbon.
- The ketocarboxylic acids either non-deuterated, fully deuterated or deuterated in their vinyl groups are stable and can be stored for extended periods of time. The following steps have to be performed in a magnetic field, preferentially inside a MRI scanner. Each step has to be performed as fast as possible because spin order and hyperpolarization decrease exponentially with relaxation.
- In the process for producing a ketocarboxylic acid having a hyperpolarized carbonyl atom, the reaction mixture obtained by reacting the carboxylic acid halogenide of the ketocarboxylic acid with the trialkyl silylenolether, preferably the vinyl ester of the ketocarboxylic acid ester that is isolated from the reaction mixture, optionally with a period of storing the reaction mixture, respectively the isolated vinyl ester of the ketocarboxylic acid ester, is contacted with para-hydrogen for para-hydrogenating the vinyl group of the ketocarboxylic acid ester with subsequent spin order transfer from the para-hydrogen atoms to hyperpolarize a 13C carbonyl carbon of the ketocarboxylic acid group, and the complete reaction mixture resulting from the para-hydrogenation is subjected to hydrolysis of the ester bond to produce the ketocarboxylic acid having a hyperpolarized 1-13C carbonyl carbon, and the then resulting complete reaction mixture is subsequently subjected to separation of the ketocarboxylic acid from the reaction mixture. The separated ketocarboxylic acid is then suitable for use in diagnostics, e.g. as a contrast medium for use in MRI diagnostics.
- (1) In detail, before application in vivo, the vinyl ester of the ketocarboxylic acid is dissolved in water or in an organic solvent (e.g. chloroform, pentane) and treated with para-hydrogen under pressure and in the presence of a suitable hydrogenation catalyst. Thereby, the intrinsic spin order of para-hydrogen is transferred to the vinyl group, which is now an ethyl group.
- (2) Magnetic field cycling or suitable NMR pulse sequences are now applied to transfer the spin order from the ethyl group into hyperpolarization of the 13C atom of the neighboring carbonyl group. This hyperpolarization transfer is much more efficient if the vinyl group is deuterated. Further deuteration of the alkyl group in the ketocarboxylic acid increases the half-life (T 1) of the hyperpolarized state, which is in the order of only 0.5-2 minutes.
- (3) Hydrolysis of the ethylester with a strong base, e.g. aqueous NaOH, yields the free hyperpolarized ketocarboxylic acid salt, e.g. pyruvate, and ethanol. In the two-phase system, the latter two compounds are in the aqueous phase and the catalyst and unreacted starting compounds are in the organic (e.g. chloroform or pentane) phase.
- (4) The strongly basic aqueous solution is brought to pH 7.4 by adding a buffer. Before injecting the hyperpolarized compound in vivo, the remaining traces of the hydrogenation catalyst have to be removed because these transition metal catalysts are toxic. A simple way to remove the catalysts is filtration over an ion exchange column. Any remaining traces of organic solvent also have to be removed, e.g. by passing the solution over a column of activated charcoal. This purification step can also be applied at an earlier stage.
- The purified aqueous solution of the hyperpolarized ketocarboxylic acid is now ready for injection and MRI measurement.
- This embodiment has the advantage of producing the ketocarboxylic acid having a hyperpolarized 1-13C carbonyl carbon in a short time while providing a high yield in substance and hyperpolarization and a high purity of the ketocarboxylic acid.
- For para-hydrogenation, a hydrogenation catalyst is added to the reaction mixture.
- Preferably, the catalyst is a homogeneous hydrogenation catalyst, preferentially a rhodium complex of the general formula [Rh(diphosphine)(diene)]+ such as [1,4-bis-(diphenylphosphino)-butane]-(1,5-cyclooctadiene)-rhodium(I)-tetrafluoroborate (79255-71-3) or (bicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene)-[1,4-bis-(diphenylphosphino)-butane]-rhodium(I)-tetrafluoroborate (82499-43-2) or for hydrogenation in water, a water soluble rhodium complex with the diphosphine ligand being 1,4-bis-[(phenyl-3-propansulfonate)-phosphine]-butane disodium salt.
- The process of the invention has been found to give a yield of at least 60%, e.g. up to 85%, preferably up to 95%, for α-ketocarboxylic acids. This high yield is also obtained after the separation of the ketocarboxylic acid from the reaction mixture. It is currently believed that the high yield, and accordingly a high purity of the ketocarboxylic acid is caused by the steps of the reaction, especially caused by reacting a carboxylic acid chloride of a ketocarboxylic acid with a trialkyl silylenolether, and therefore minimizing the occurrence of reverse reactions or of dimerization, e.g. Aldol-reactions as they are currently assumed to cause the very low yield in the synthesis described by Chukanov et al., ACS Omega 2018. For the same reason the yields for β-ketocarboxylic acids according to our procedure are somewhat lower than those for α-ketocarboxylic acids.
- The invention is now described in greater detail by way of examples.

- Para hydrogenation: The substrate precursors 1-13C-vinyl pyruvate-d3 (or d6) (6.8 mg) and hydrogenation catalyst [1,4-bis-(diphenylphosphino)-butan]-(1,5-cyclooctadien)-rhodium(I)-tetrafluoroborat (26 mg [Rh], CAS 79255-71-3) were dissolved in 6 mL of chloroform-d. A NMR tube (5 mm diameter, medium wall, high pressure) was filled with 450 µL of the above solution (vinyl pyruvate and Rh catalyst) and connected to a gas line. The gas line was flushed with N2 for approximately 5 s at 5 bar before connecting to the NMR tube to prevent premature hydrogenation. The NMR tube was inserted into a NMR spectrometer (WB NMR 400 MHz, Avance Neo, 9.4 T, Bruker) with the probe set to 330 K. After 2-3 minutes waiting time to reach temperature stabilization, the pressure was built up by flushing para hydrogen through the sample for 10-15 seconds at 7 bar. Then the para hydrogen bubbling was stopped and a spin order transfer sequence was executed after 2 seconds.
The same procedure can be performed with other solvents including alkanes (e.g. pentane, butane, hexane etc), acetone, and alcohols and chlorine containing solvents. - Spin order transfer: The spin order transfer sequences: phINEPT+, Kadlecek, Goldman (10.1016/j.jmr.2012.08.016), SEPP-INEPT (10.1016/j.pnmrs.2012.03.001), ESOTHERIC (https://doi.org/10.1002/open.201800086) and their derivatives including adiabatic and shape RF pulses (10.1021/jz501754j) or variation of magnetic field (10.1021/acs.jpcb.5b06222) were used to transfer polarization from para-hydrogen to 13C. Experimentally we used ESOTHERIC SOT sequence that provides 100% polarization of 13C of 1-13C-ethyl pyruvate-d6 after hydrogenation. Other ketocarboxylic acid esters provide similar degrees of hyperpolarization with the same procedure.
- Ester Hydrolysis: To perform hydrolysis, the 13C-hyperpolarized ethyl ester (450 µL) is pushed out of the para-hydrogen reaction chamber into a glass vial that is prefilled with an aqueous solution of NaOH (450 µL, 100 mmol/L). After pushing the hyperpolarized sample into the aqueous solution, the vial is shaken for about 3 seconds and let stand still to achieve phase separation for another 5-10 seconds. Then the top aqueous phase is collected. Traces of remaining catalyst are removed by pushing the aqueous phase through an ion exchange column and traces of solvent are removed by fast filtration through activated charcoal. If the ketocarboxylic ester is a pyruvic ester, the ester hydrolysis is performed in acetone-D6. Sodium pyruvate is scarcely soluble in acetone and is purified by precipitation, washing and re-dissolution in water.
- The resulting hyperpolarized aqueous solution is filled into an NMR tube for quality analysis, or prefilled with enzymes or proteins for in vitro studies. If necessary, the pH of the solution is adjusted by addition of more acidic buffer to obtain the desired pH value (~7.4). After quality assurance (pH, purity, temperature) the hyperpolarized 13C- ketocarboxylic acid can be used for in vivo molecular MRI
